SAD;shootings Stars defender Izu Joseph died after he was hit by stray bullet
The late player was part
of the Oluyole Warriors which finished 14th at the just concluded
2015/2016 season of the Nigerian Professional Football League which
Enugu Rangers emerged champions.
A tweet by the Ibadan based club reads: “A Shooting STAR is gone! Izu
Joseph is gone! Flamboyant defender is gone! RIP, brother. What a life!
May God strengthen his family #Tragedy.”
It was alleged that defender was hit by a bullet as officers of the
Joint Task Force (JTF) engaged militants of the restive Niger Delta in a
long-drawn face-off on Sunday, October 16.
Izu Joseph joined Shooting Stars in 2014 from Bayelsa United when the
Ibadan club were still in the second-tier Nigeria National League.
